The tanks that were seen on TV before are all metallic Think it's made of steel only! Then I knew there was a layer of pottery! What's the use of this?
Porcelain ceramic armor: ability to resist penetrator is slightly lower than the uniform rolling steel, but the ability to resist heat is two times the uniform rolling steel. Normally sealed in a metal case to increase its mechanical strength. It needs to be combined with other metals to improve its skeleton function. Ceramic armor prices are slightly higher, and because of the skeleton and composite material, the defense effect will be slightly different. Increasing the density of the backboard can enhance the defense effect.
High temperature ceramic and very durable on the outside of the fight force is better than steel armor, the armor now in the study of ceramic armor technology, ceramic armor has been widely used in the reaction tank, the facts also prove that this armor has good defensive ability, plug-in reactive armor can receive blow off can buffer off a part of impact force.
Ceramics were not only found in the composite armor of tanks, but also in the bulletproof vests for soldiers. Because although the ceramic brittle, but his hardness higher than steel rebar, we know the general site with the hardness of about HRC35, the general household kitchen knife hardness is more than 40, Chinese 95 military bayonet hardness is 58, while the ceramic hardness can reach 80-85. Much higher than steel, but lighter than steel. So, bulletproof is a very good material.
The ceramic armor, a reactive armor, provides better protection for the tank and reduces the kinetic energy of the projectile by fragmentation of the ceramic
